Carol,
Not sure what you problem is (CFML errors or unexpected results), but here
is some docs from CF Studio:
switch-case: switch (expr) {case const-expr : statement break ; default :
statement }
In this syntax, const-expr must be a constant (i.e., not a variable, a
function, or other expression). Only one default statement is allowed. There
can be multiple case statements. You cannot mix Boolean and numeric case
values in a switch statement.
No two constants may be the same inside a switch statement.
switch(name)
{
case "John":
{
male=true;
found=true;
break;
}
case "Mary":
{
male=false;
found=true;
break;
}
default:
{
found=false;
break;
}
} //end switch
Note: That each statement must have a break; in it, or it will continue
thru each case. Hope that helps!
So, not " around the variable name in the switch

Subject: CFSCRIPT "switch" Brain Burp
Looking for cfscript guru...
I know the answer to this is sooooo simple, but I have tried everything...I
think...
and the next step right now seems to be... asprin, chicken soup and
medication.
I tried:
switch abc; switch 'abc', switch '#abc#', switch #abc#;
switch (abc); switch ('abc'), switch ('#abc#'), switch (#abc#);
and in the output, when the program doesn't get caught up in errors due
to ' or " or #, abc = r and txt_status always = Unknown
I just don't know what to do next.
What is the secret? how do i script the switch "???abc???" so it works?
<CFSCRIPT>
abc = 'r';
switch (???abc???) {
case "s":{txt_status = 'Initial Submission';}
case "r":{txt_status = ' Revision';}
case "a":{txt_status = 'Administration Revision';}
case "j":{txt_status = 'Previously Rejected';}
case "p":{txt_status = 'Processed and updated';}
case "d":{txt_status = 'Previously Deleted';}
default:{txt_status = 'Unknown';}
}
</CFSCRIPT>
<CFOUTPUT>#abc#<BR>#txt_status#</CFOUTPUT>
Thank you, in advance,
Carol
